FLS 2000 C2TES2

Flexible tile and marble adhesive “ULTRA ELASTIC” (White) C2TES2

The FLS 2000 adhesive is used for laying tiles and boards of any type and dimensions (marble, granite, ceramic, etc.) on any substrate, interior or exterior, on floors and walls. It can be applied on conventional concrete substrates and cementitious renders, on simple floors (covered with old mosaics or old ceramic tiles), on surfaces made of lightweight structural elements (cellular lightweight concrete, cement boards, plasterboards, etc.), on metal surfaces, in swimming pools, water tanks, on surfaces with relatively high humidity, on floors and walls with increased demands on temperature changes, expansion joints or vibrations (heated floors, bathrooms, balconies, metal substrates, etc.) and wherever high construction quality is required. It ensures very good adhesion, high resistance to compression and bending, with characteristic stability to changes in temperature and humidity. It prevents visual changes of the surface of white marbles (and other building materials) and the formation of efflorescence. Homogeneous, ready-to-mix, industrial product of consistently high quality. It ensures good workability, increased application speed, it is economical and provides excellent results.

Composition & Features

• Mixture of white cement of high specifications and crushed marble of strictly selected granulometry and quality, enriched with special improving additives. • It complies with EN 12004-1 and is classified as a C2TES2 adhesive.

Application

• The substrate must be clean and firm and it is recommended that it is wetted before application. • The contents of the bag shall be gradually added to clean water (approximately 4.5-5.0 l/bag) under continuous stirring using an electric mixer at low speed until a homogeneous mixture is obtained. The mixture is allowed to cure for 5 minutes and then stirred again before the application. • The adhesive should be applied (“combing”) with a serrated putty knife (6-10 mm) and then the tiles must be placed within 30 minutes. • The tiles must be placed and pressed down to come to the desired position. The limits of the application time of the prepared adhesive are such that they allow for any correction needed to fix the tiles in their exact final position. • If the substrate has been covered with a render, its moisture content must be less than 2.5% before the adhesive is applied. • During the application of the adhesive, and for a few hours afterwards, extreme climatic conditions (such as strong wind, rain, dust, direct sunlight, etc.) should be avoided • Application temperature between +5 °C and +35 °C • Grouting on floors is recommended to be carried out after 24 hours and grouting on walls after 8 hours.

Packaging & Storage

• In bags of 20 kg, on pallets. • In a dry place where frost does not form, for 12 months from the date of production, in unopened bags.

Consumption

2.0-4.0 kg/m2, depending on the type and size of the tiles and the substrate.
